This is the recipe to make converts of all those zucchini skeptics who consider it bland and boring. Marinated, grilled, then hit with a dose of crunchy pepper relish, the squash is a lively side dish for any grilled entrée. The mix of fresh and dried, sweet and spicy peppers makes it explode with flavor. Leftovers are so good in sandwiches or grain salads that I always make enough for six even though we are only four. In fact, my family gets cranky if I don’t plan accordingly!
